contents <p><span lang="EN-US">Uneven boll opening in cotton crops affects yield. Dense leaves obstruct boll opening, delay crop maturity, and create trash during harvesting. Natural leaf drop facilitates mechanical harvesting, but if this process doesn’t occur on time, mechanical harvesting becomes challenging. To address this issue, farmers use chemical defoliants, which promote leaf drop and simplify the mechanical harvesting process. Chemical defoliants play an important role in promoting leaf drop and boll opening. The use of these chemicals improves boll maturity, enhances fiber quality, and increases harvesting efficiency. In different countries, defoliation in cotton crops is carried out through various techniques and methods. In developed countries, highly advanced techniques are used for defoliant spraying and monitoring, whereas in developing countries like India, these techniques are comparatively less advanced. Defoliation makes the cotton crop harvesting process more effective and smoother and it also simplifies post- harvest processing activities.</span></p>
